Hi Dieter and others,
can you try this instead? Doing set_palette() (and set_origin too if we
are talking about it) before con_switch is severely broken. Old code, before
moving set_palette, did set_palette unconditionally even when KD_GRAPHICS.
Code below restores this behavior, but still does set_palette() after console
switch. Please tell me whether it fixes your problem too (if not, then
X server must be fixed... if yes, then I believe that this is THE ONE CORRECT
PATCH (tm)).
Best regards,
